Schumacher confirm Orlowski & Kobbevik for MIBO International

Schumacher has confirmed its return to the 4th edition of the MIBO International with regular Czech visitors Michal Orlowski and Daniel Kobbevik. Orlowski, who is currently setting the pace at the famous TITC race in Thailand, is a MIBO International winner in touring car but this year the Pole switches to racing on other side of the Sports V Hotel sports hall as he takes on the offroad track. Kobbevik has been a Top Qualifier in Hrotovice and finished on the podium but a win has so far eluded the Norwegian, a record he will be hoping to amend. With confirmed entries for offroad also from Xray, in European Champion Martin Bayer and defending MIBO International 2WD Champion Bartek Zalewski, and Sworkz, in Elliott Boots and Micha Widmaier, the racing is set to be intense over the 2 & a half day event.

Mibosport – It all started with a Tamiya TT01 for Christmas

Last weekend saw the biggest MIBO International to-date take place in the Czech Republic. The third edition of this unique race, the construction of two separate carpet tracks brings together both onroad and offroad racers for two & a half days of racing. Held in the Sport V Hotel in the very small town of Hrotovice, a casual conversation with the man who puts it on, Michal Bok, quickly turned into a bit of trip down memory lane. Our first event of 2025, this year marks 18-years since we covered our first event, the 2007 EFRA 1:10 Nitro Touring European Championship in Spain, and we have become good friends with Michal over that time. As we chatted it was interesting to discovered the story of Bok’s successful journey with Mibosport, the distribution and online retailer that has just out grown its fourth premises, and which all started from him getting a Tamiya TT01 for Christmas as a kid.

Volker takes charge in early MIBO qualifying

Having topped seeding at the third edition of MIBO International, Ronald Volker’s Mugen Seiki MTC3 continues to be the benchmark in the Czech Republic with the German taking the opening two rounds of qualifying. In the first of the 5 scheduled qualifiers, Volker was fastest from the Schumacher of defending champion Michal Orlowski by 8/10ths of a second with Xray’s Adam Iszay maintaining status as the third fastest driver. In a slower Q2, a mistake from Orlowski would give Volker an easier repeat TQ run, Yokomo’s Christopher Krapp his closest challenger over 3-seconds down on the 2016 World Champion. Again Iszay completed the Top 3 ahead Patrick Gollner and the recovering Orlowski.
